My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 489: The Face is All Swollen
Overwhelming jealousy made her want to tear the scene before her eyes to shreds.

How was Rong Yan deserving of this?

Li Shengxiao didn’t know what she was thinking, nor did he care. His sharp, eagle-like gaze passed over Shi Mufeng and landed on Rong Weiwei. “Miss Rong doesn’t plan to apologize to my girlfriend?”

Miss Rong doesn’t plan to apologize to my girlfriend?

Rong Weiwei’s delicate face paled, her lower lip bitten tightly, her almond eyes flashing with a pitiful expression, “Mr. Li, I don’t know what I did wrong. How can I apologize to my sister…”

She had been ‘helping’ Rong Yan throughout, even if there were hidden meanings in her words, at least she had kept up a good appearance.

This man demanded an apology from her, he must have a reasonable explanation, right?

She herself thought Li Shengxiao wouldn’t be able to give any reasonable explanation, but Li Shengxiao never intended to provide so-called reasons at all. “Do you mean you don’t think you should apologize?”

Rong Weiwei’s lips were pressed tightly, not wanting to offend the man in front of her, nor did she want to bow her head to Rong Yan, “I truly don’t know what I did wrong that I should apologize to my sister for. Mr. Li, you can tell me what I did wrong. If it was indeed my fault, I will definitely offer a sincere apology to my sister.”

“But…” she hesitated, her watery eyes looking at Li Shengxiao with a facade of neither servility nor overbearingness, which was nauseating to behold, “I didn’t do anything, and I don’t know how to apologize.”

Shi Mufeng had been harshly humiliated by Li Shengxiao just now, and given that Rong Weiwei was both his companion and girlfriend, he really didn’t want her to apologize again. If Rong Weiwei were to apologize to Rong Yan again, as a man, it would mean losing face both inside and out, “Mr. Li. I’ve said it already, when I had a misunderstanding, Weiwei was helping Rong Yan speak the whole time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around and see if what I’m saying is true.”

His look at Rong Yan was barely short of pointing at her nose and saying that Rong Yan was being pretentious, deliberately refusing to vouch for Rong Weiwei.

Li Shengxiao ignored him, his gaze fixed on Rong Weiwei as he coldly replied, “I’ll give you two options, apologize, or I will personally discuss with Mr. Xin of HuanYu about putting you on ice!”

Rong Weiwei’s face immediately turned green.

Xin Lanye was not Shi Mufeng, who had a soft spot for her. After Rong Weiwei failed to handle the lawsuit against Rong Yan properly, Xin Lanye was already quite displeased with her. Using just her big toe, she could guess that the moment this man opened his mouth, that old woman would not hesitate to cast her aside.

“Sister…” she was filled with embarrassment, anger, and shame as she weakly called out after glancing at Rong Yan.

She looked as if she had been bullied and was imploring Rong Yan to speak up for her.

Rong Yan acted as if she hadn’t seen it. She hadn’t wanted Rong Weiwei’s insincere apology to begin with, but this man wanted to stand up for her, and that she remembered. She would never be idiotic enough to help Rong Weiwei by speaking in her favor.

Rong Weiwei bit her lip, anger at Rong Yan brimming underneath for pushing her too far, not giving her any face, not even pretending to. At the same time, she was caught between a rock and a hard place, biting her lip again as she glanced at Shi Mufeng beside her.

Without a word, it was as if a thousand words had been spoken.

Shi Mufeng was a normal man; facing such a situation, he couldn’t remain indifferent. He opened his mouth, just about to speak.

Li Shengxiao’s glance swept over him, his oppressive presence bearing down, silencing him before he could speak a word.

Rong Weiwei watched as the man beside her was pressed into silence, her expression going through shades of green, red, and then pale. She looked at Rong Yan, her face white with resentment, and uttered, “I’m sorry.”
